LIGHTING DEVICE AND HOUSING THEREFOR

摘要

Embodiments of the invention relate generally to lighting devices and, more particularly, to lighting devices having tubular housings containing light emitting devices on a circuit board, as well as housings for such lighting devices. In one embodiment, the invention provides a lighting device comprising: a circuit board including a light emitting device; and an elongate substantially tubular housing for enclosing the circuit board, the tubular housing including: a support shelf extending across an interior of the tubular housing to support the circuit board; and a circuit board restraining member restraining the circuit board to the support shelf.

主权项

1. A lighting device comprising:
a circuit board including a light emitting device; and an elongate substantially tubular housing for enclosing the circuit board, the tubular housing including: a continuous outer surface; a support shelf extending across an interior of the tubular housing to support the circuit board; and a circuit board restraining member restraining the circuit board to the support shelf, the circuit board restraining member comprising a pair of tabs integral with the interior for exerting a force against the circuit board in a radial direction but permitting movement of the circuit board in an axial direction, with respect to the elongate, substantially tubular housing.
